User talk:Sovasolar

Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because it has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. Also, your username gives the impression that the account represents a business, organisation, group, website, or role, which is against the username policy.

If you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization, you may request unblock and a username change. In your reasons, you must follow all these steps:

Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement; and
Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked; and
Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked; and
Provide a new username.

To do this, insert the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked. If you are having trouble, you may want to try using the unblock wizard.

Before requesting a new username, check if it is still available. If the search says "There is no global account for [username]", the username is free to use.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the edit. Mfield (Oi!) 18:04, 16 February 2026 (UTC)

Requested username:

SoumiModak (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

I understand that my account was blocked because my username appeared to represent a business and because my edits were considered promotional. I acknowledge that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a platform for advertising or promotion.

Disclosure: I am affiliated with Sova Solar and may receive compensation in relation to my professional work connected to the company. I understand Wikipedia's paid-contribution disclosure requirement and will comply fully with it going forward.

If unblocked, I will:

• Use a personal, neutral username.

• Disclose my conflict of interest clearly.

• Avoid directly creating or editing articles related to my company.

• Use the Articles for Creation process and Talk pages for any suggestions.

• Focus on neutral, properly sourced contributions.

In general, I intend to contribute by improving citations, correcting factual errors, and editing non-related articles in renewable energy topics in accordance with Wikipedia's policies.

Thank you for your consideration. Sovasolar (talk) 04:59, 17 February 2026 (UTC)

Requested username:

ShriMukherjee (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

I understand why my account was blocked. I used a username that represented a company, and I was trying to create content about that company. I now realize that this is considered promotional and against Wikipedia’s policies.

I work professionally with Sova Solar, and I may receive compensation related to that work. I should have disclosed this clearly before editing. I understand now that Wikipedia requires transparency and neutral editing, especially when there is a conflict of interest.

If unblocked, I will switch to the username ShriMukherjee and use it only as a personal account. I will not directly create or edit articles related to my company. If I have suggestions in the future, I will use the Talk page or the Articles for Creation process and clearly disclose my affiliation.

I would like to contribute by improving citations and editing topics unrelated to my company, particularly in renewable energy subjects where I can add reliable sources.

I apologize for my earlier mistakes and will follow Wikipedia’s policies going forward.

Decline reason:

Closing in favor of the below request. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 00:31, 20 February 2026 (UTC)

This user is asking to be unblocked to request a change in username.

Sovasolar (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Requested username:

ShriMukherjee (talk · account availability check · rename user)

Request reason:

The following request was written through the unblock wizard.

Can you explain, in your own words, why your edits were promotional?

My focus was on presenting the company and its activities. I now understand that Wikipedia requires independent, reliable sources and a strictly neutral tone, and that editing about an organisation.

What is your relationship with the subjects you have been editing about?

I provide professional services related to Sova Solar and may receive compensation for that work. I understand that this constitutes a paid contribution under Wikipedia’s disclosure policy and should have been disclosed clearly before editing.

If you are unblocked, what topic areas will you edit in?

If I am unblocked, I would focus on editing topics related to renewable energy in general, such as solar energy policy in India, photovoltaic technology, and industry developments that are supported by reliable sources. I would also work on improving citations, fixing formatting issues, and correcting factual errors in existing articles. I will avoid editing topics related to companies I am professionally connected with and will disclose any potential conflicts of interest.

Is there anything else that may be helpful to your unblock request?

I would just like to add that I genuinely did not intend to misuse Wikipedia. I understand now that my approach was incorrect and that I should have familiarized myself with the conflict of interest and notability policies before editing. I respect the purpose of Wikipedia as an independent encyclopedia and I am willing to follow all guidelines moving forward. I am prepared to build a history of neutral contributions and avoid editing topics connected to my professional work. Thank you for taking the time to review my request.

(Non-administrator comment) I have restored the previously declined unblock request. You are not allowed to remove declined unblock requests from your user talk page.

You also have two open unblock requests when you should only have one. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 17:29, 19 February 2026 (UTC)

This unblock request still reads to me as if it were generated by an LLM, such as ChatGPT. Sovasolar, we would like to hear from you directly--even if you have poor grammar. We want to ensure that you understand Wikipedia's policies and that unblocking you will not cause disruption to the encyclopedia. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 20:04, 28 February 2026 (UTC)
